Best USB-C Monitors for Mac — So Far!

What’s the best USB-C monitor for Mac? Right now, it’s more like what’s available.

USB-C is the future. Transfer rates are lightning quick, it’s easy to plug in, it can replace just about any cable under the Sun — what more could you need? MacBooks are getting in on the change, and having a monitor with USB-C capabilities is a great way to extend your desktop with just a simple cable.

Here’s what’s available for you and your USB-C monitor needs.

ASUS MB169C+

Acer H277HU kmipuz

LG 27UD88

This 4K monitor is hands-down the best USB-C monitor you can buy to complement your Mac experience. Via one cable, USB-C, you can power your MacBook, transfer video, and use the monitor as a USB hub, with the ability to interface with any peripheral you plug into the UD88’s two USB 3.0 ports.

You can calibrate the colors with your MacBook so that you glance back and forth between each screen and have it be seamless and pleasing to the eye. You also have 14 options for layout, so you can view multiple windows simultaneously — run your Apple TV via HDMI while using your MacBook!

As mentioned, the best part of this monitor is its ability to power your MacBook while acting as a display, so that you’re not limited by your battery.

ASUS MB169C+

ASUS’ MB169C+ is just plain cool. It’s a portable monitor that connects to your MacBook via USB-C, though it is powered by that same connection, so you will be limited by your MacBook’s battery.

This monitor offers a 1080p resolution, which is a far cry from a Retina display, but it gets the job done. At 1.76 pounds, the MB169C+ is incredibly light and easy to carry around. It’s just as easy on the eyes, thanks to its blue light filter, which helps diminish eyestrain, especially during prolonged use.

You can’t run multiple devices on this monitor at once (USB only), but if you need it as a second or alternate display for your MacBook, it’ll work perfectly.

Acer H277HU kmipuz

Acer’s slim-bezeled H277HU has a great display that looks as good as its hardware. The golden chin bezel and collar-shaped stand are gorgeous and eye-catching, though not distracting, since the bezel around the rest of the screen is minimal.

Like the ASUS monitor above, the USB-C port on this monitor won’t power your MacBook, though it won’t suck power from it either, since the H277HU has its own power cable.

This monitor isn’t for folks with a wonky setup who need to swivel it around to portrait mode or anything like that, since it can only tilt backward 15 degree and forward 5. Other than that, it’s a great companion to your MacBook, adding a 1440×2560 display, and HDMI port, and a DisplayPort (though you cannot interface with peripherals via your MacBook and the USB-C input).
